Course description

The module "Fundamentals of Neurobiology" presents the content of neurobiological sciences, which is one of the fastest-growing areas of science. The classes provide a reductionist explanation of the processes regulating human behavior and show the connections between successive levels of observation and the study of animal behavior functions and mechanisms.

The educational content includes: Molecular foundations of neurobiology. Mechanisms of nervous system development. Neurochemistry: chemistry of synaptic transmission, psychopharmacology, and addictions. Neuronal mechanisms of mental functions: perception, motor skills, memory, arousal level, motivations.
